Certainly.

Each running postmaster needs a different port and a different database
cluster directory ($PGDATA); as you suggest, a separate log file would
also be a good idea.

If they are running under separate usernames, you need to make sure that
they both have permission to write in the socket directory, or else have
different socket directories.
